What does the Lieutenant Governor represent in each of the provinces?

  1. The Sovereign

  2. The Prime Minister

  3. The Governor General

  4. The Premier

The correct answer is: The Sovereign

The Lieutenant Governor is the representative of the Sovereign (Queen or King) in each of the provinces, and serves as the Queen's or King's personal representative. This role is unique to Canada and is an important part of our constitutional monarchy system. The Prime Minister, Governor General, and Premier are all incorrect options because they do not represent the Sovereign in the provincial level. The Prime Minister represents the federal government, the Governor General represents the Queen or King at the federal level, and the Premier is the elected head of the provincial government.
